A "🛶" is a small, narrow boat commonly used for transportation or recreational purposes. It is often propelled by paddles and has a simple design that allows it to navigate through calm waters. The term "pirogue" refers specifically to a type of canoe or dugout boat traditionally used in West Africa and Louisiana, typically made from a single tree trunk. Both the "🛶" and "pirogue" represent vessels that offer a means of travel and exploration on water.
